Kerry:
How Did Ennis Vote?


Ennis was 19 when he and Jack met in 1963. That would make him 64 now. How do you think he voted in the recent U.S. election? Tell us why you think he chose to vote that way. When responding, kindly bear in mind that this is the friendly Polling Place, moderated by our sweet-natured buddy, David. Out of respect for David (and Ennis!), let's all be nice to each other here. Enjoy the poll! :D

Monika:
I feel pretty sure that he didn´t vote at all so I picked that option. If he had been forced to, though, I think he would have voted republican given the fact where he lived and that one of his character traits is fear. He would have voted on what was familiar to him.

Lynne:
I also chose the option that Ennis did not vote.

During his years with Jack, '[they] could hunt in November' which leaves me with the sense that he would be focused on his personal issues and not worried overmuch about national politics. (Truman gets credit for this idea.)

As Ennis aged, if he were even still alive in 2008, I cannot envision him as a man with interests extending much beyond his day-to-day existence.  I would guess he'd feel so estranged from his fellow man (those on the 'pavement') that he would not even consider that his point of view would be valid.

good one and probably very true, Lynne and Truman :)

Kerry:

I voted "Did not vote." I don't see Ennis as a particularly political kinda fella. I believe he would consider his ranch duties and the stock in his care to be vastly more important than mere politics!  ;)   ;D

If, however, voting was compulsory in America, as it is in Australia, where I live, I feel Ennis would probably have voted Republican. Why? I guess because of his rural Wyoming roots and conservative outlook.
